1) Roll Call
Matt Miller, Tobias Markmann, Matthew Wild, Kevin Smith present; Ralph Meijer absent.
2) XMPPWG Report
The XMPP working group meeting covered 3 main topics: end-to-end encryption, domain name assertions, and internationalization.
2.1) E2E
Current proposal is < http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-miller-xmpp-e2e-00 >, which puts key management into a protocol, and is trying to re-use the work from JOSE (JSON Object Signing and Encryption) WG. The "plaintext" is still XML (stanzas, wrapped in a XEP-0297 <forwarded/>), with jSON used for crypto headers (key parameters, etc).
2.2) DNA
Although there is no draft documenting the proposal yet, the rough consensus is to follow a layered approach:
* determine trust algorithms for certificate in TLS (PKIX, HTTPS/.well-known, DANE)
* Use dialback, and maybe stream:stream headers, for asserting an identity to be verified using trust algorithms
Concern raised about the use of HTTPS *clients* for all software (clients and servers). Matt Miller urges discussion continue on < xmpp at ietf.org >.
2.3) Internationalization
Internationalization work is pending outputs from the PRECIS working group. There is a 6122bis draft available at < http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-saintandre-xmpp-6122bis-00 >, as well as a proposal for a sub-profile of PRECIS for nicknames at < http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-saintandre-precis-nickname-00 >. The nicknames draft proposes restrictions over the FreeClass that can be applied for particular scenarios (e.g. MUC room nicknames).
Most of discussion is on the < xmpp at ietf.org > mailing list, as well the PRECIS working group at < precis at ietf.org >.
3) Date of next meeting
All in attendance agreed to next meet on 2012-04-11T16:00Z.
4) Any other business
NONE
